Did you know that cats have very sensitive whiskers and typically don't enjoy putting their face all the way into a bowl? Cats depend upon you to ensure that the water bowl is filled to the brim and is wide enough that their whiskers are not negatively impacted.

Did you know cats can be just as finicky about their water asthey are about their food? Cats are also sensitive to the watertaste and temperature. Taste can be tainted by dirty bowls in addition to pollutedwater. Ceramic or stainless-steel bowls have surfaces that inhibit bacterial growth andtend to keep water cool. Daily pet care that includes cleaning your cat’s water bowl andfilling it with filtered water can minimize pollutants and increase drinking.

Do you know what the “right” water bowl temperature is for your cat? Everycat’s preference is different. Consider including observation and a trial and errorprocess to your regular cat care practice. Experimenting with different options such asroom temperature water, refrigerated water, and bottled water can help to determinewhat “fluffy” likes best so that he/she can stay hydrated and healthy.
